Embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams cancelled a Sunday trip to the southern border and Mexico after the State Department told him it was too dangerous.
The Democrat leader was expected to set off on Saturday night to speak find out more about the crisis which has seen more than 180,000 migrants arrive in New York City since the spring of 2022. He was due to visit the frontline towns of Brownsville and McAllen in Texas, but it was his planned stop in an unnamed Mexican city that prompted the warning from the White House.
It comes just days after the Mayor was forced to abandon the city’s ‘right to shelter’ policy for homeless people in the face of pressure on services from the new arrivals. ‘We hope to continue our partnership with these nationally-recognized Latino leaders and organizations as we look for concrete solutions to resolve the crisis at the border,’ his spokeswoman Amaris Cockfield said in a statement.
The Mayor visited the southern border back in January unsuccessfully trying to deter those hoping to arrive in New York. That trip also took a four-day tour through Latin America in October in which he made stops in Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia and implored people to stop making the dangerous journey to the US.
More than 64,000 migrants are now in the city's care through its more than 200 emergency shelter sites.
